The Network’s story
The Ultra European Network by Pomilio Blumm was founded in 2013. Over time we have developed our own cross-cultural ecosystem starting from the Mediterranean, a historical pool for multiculturalism, and moving on to a global presence firmly holding the pillars of origin.
We have been actively crossing boundaries and expanding the number of members, becoming the market leader in institutional communication.
We are an extensive, independent and creative ecosystem of over 7000 professionals from 120 countries whose sharings and experiences contribute to developing the essence of its identity.
The UEN is able to develop joint projects in strategic parts of the world using a genuinely transnational perspective. We ensure highly reliable services that are grounded in the principles of localisation and cultural adaptation, which leverage the specific know-how of our partners, as well as our experiences within different national contexts.
